“The Pattern of Ballindoon used to be held on the fourth of August every year, in the "Abbey Field.”
The Pattern of Balluidoon used to be held on the fourth of August every year, in the “Abbey Field”. People were said to have performed statious there, but the place where they used to perform then is not now known. During to protestant opposition however the pattern was changed to Cloonagh, and it was held in a field belonging to “Mickey Monaghan”… There is a story told about Mickey, at the time the protestants took over the Abbey field for tillage, he became very enraged that the people allowed them to do so, and that they didn't hold the pattern in spite of them. He went so far, as to go to the Parish priest over the matter, and he did his upmost to urge the Catholics to hold it there still.
